Relplication from 2005 to 2008

  • I am trying to add a 2008 subscriber to a 2005 box for replication. Does anybody know how to add it without getting this error?

    The selected subscriberdoes not satisfy the minimum version compatibility level of selected publication

    thanks,

  • Can you please let us know what compatibility level you have set for your publisher and subscriber?

  • One server (2005) is 9.0

    second server (2008) is 10

    When setting up the Publisher can I select a higher level?

  • Your publisher is 2005...Right? You cannot set it higher than 90 that you have.... I am not sure why you are not able to replicate from 2005 to 2008. There are lots of cases where it is set up successfully.

  • Sorry both DB's are 9.0 but one of them is on the 2008 server which is 10.

    Roy,

    I cannot get the server to connect when adding a new subscription in the wizard on the 2005 box. If there's a way can you help me out?

    This is the error I get

    'The selected subscriber does not satisfy the minimum version compatibility level of selected publication'

  • Your issue is a small one. You cannot add a 2008 subscriber from the 2005 SSMS. This is due to the fact that SSMS is only backward compatible and not forward compatible.

    Try adding the subscriber from the SQL 2008 box using SQL Server Management Studio.

  • Go it! Thanks

    On the 2005 box I mad a publication for my DB

    On my 2008 box I made a subscription using distributor (pull) option

    so this will pull the original DB from 2005 and replicate on 2008 box.

  • Glad to know that everything worked out fine...
